Cardinals Blank Giants

Submitted by jcovington on Sat, 05/31/2014 - 11:34pm

Michael Wacha held the Giants off the board through six innings as the Cardinals blanked the Giants 2-0 at Busch Stadium. Wacha improved to 4-and-3 but left after six frames due to a 51-minute weather delay. Trevor Rosenthal locked down his 16th save for the Cards who snapped a three game skid. Oscar Taveras went deep in his Major League debut and Jhonny Peralta drove in the other run in the win. Yusmeiro Petit took the loss filling in for Matt Cain who hit the disabled list Saturday morning. The Giants were held to three hits and ended their four game winning streak.

OFF THE CUFF with Diane Jones

On March 24, 2015, Lufthansa Airlines pilot Andreas Lubitz steered a planeful of passengers into the French Alps, killing 150 people in a grisly act of murder/suicide.

The logical first question the world is asking is why? We ask this not only to make some sort of rational sense out of the irrational act, but also so that we can try to prevent something like it from happening again.
